Chief Data Officer Circle

The Chief Data Officer (CDO) and Chief Analytics Officer (CAO) roles are evolving continuously – early adopters of the role may have had more of a regulatory and compliance focus, but now it is a key position at the executive table enabling innovation and growth in the digital.

CDOs and CAOs are now accountable for:

Fostering their organization’s data-driven strategy

Driving innovation and revenue generation

Transformation of organizational culture

Development of new skills

Data and analytics leaders now have to be able to guide their organizations and lead with purpose in an increasingly complex and rapidly changing data driven digital business landscape.

The CDO Circle experience is exclusively available to CDOs, CAOs and top data and analytics leaders attending the Gartner Data & Analytics Summit .

The CDO Circe is a crafted executive experience: Two-days of presentations and discussions together with an ability to attend regular sessions at the Summit. You will want to quickly secure one of the limited CDO Circle seats by registering for the Summit and then applying to the Circle. Make sure you don’t miss out on this exclusive experience specifically designed for both new and tenured CDOs and CAOs.

Dedicated sessions for CDO Circle members include:

Leadership and Strategy Essentials – New, emerging and “in-flight” CDOs have the opportunity to explore essentials like data storytelling, how to sustain critical executive partnerships and ways to drive value creation.

How CDOs Can Drive a Data-Driven Culture Using Data Literacy – An exclusive workshop session designed with practical ideas and guidance to help CDOs lead data-driven culture change.
